Principality of Galilee

The Principality of Galilee was one of the four vassal states of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, existing from 1099 to 1187. Its capital was Tiberias, and it was founded after the conclusion of the First Crusade, encompassing the regions of Galilee and Lebanon (its own vassals were the lordships of Nazareth, Beirut, and Haifa). Tancred of Galilee was its first ruler, and the principality was destroyed by Saladin in 1187 during his conquest of the Levant. Even after the restoration of the crusader states after the Third Crusade in 1193, Galilee was not resurrected.
